31. Moving To A Modern Cold Chain Data Monitoring System

    In the world of pharmaceutical supply chains, where cost reduction is king and a growing number of products are temperature controlled – collecting, communicating and analyzing temperature and logistics data is critical to success.

32. 9 Steps To Remember When Performing A Supply Chain Risk Assessment

    This article provides practical tools for creating a risk assessment procedure related to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines.

33. ULD Maintenance Program Provides Optimal Performance And Longevity

    It is critical to ensure that an active container that has been out in service for over 10 years would perform as well as a brand new container just released from our factory. 

34. Web Connected Biologistics: Cold Chain Lessons Learned From Pharma

    Shipping a drug product – particularly one that is both time-and temperature-sensitive – is only the beginning of a long and circuitous journey where the variety of potential threats and challenges increases and risks to product quality are heightened the further the product travels from its origin.

36. Top 5 Events That Can Impact Your Clinical Supply Chain

    Review practical solutions for “small changes” in the clinical supply chain that can wreak havoc if not planned for in advance.

37. Cold Chain Passive Packaging Savings Through Reuse

    In today’s marketplace, biopharmaceutical companies are seeking improvements that lead to reductions in overall supply chain costs. With the ever increasing dimensional weight pricing, companies are going to be looking even more closely at cost saving supply chain ideas. When it comes to the packaging solutions used to ship temperature-sensitive materials, biopharmaceutical companies are considering the implementataion of reusable packaging programs.

38. Reducing Supply Chain Costs

    An effective reuse program can significantly reduce total supply chain costs. The most noticeable way is multiple reuses of the same shipping solution, decreasing packaging costs compared to one-time usage.  A solution priced such that it can be treated as a supply items and expensed should be selected. The ordering and receipt process for the reusable solution will then be no different than one-time-use shipping solutions.
